BuddyPress.org

Hate to say it, but I am having the same issue using WP 3.1.1 and BP 1.2.8

This is using the BP Default Theme.

Same behavior too, as it redirects after registration to the main site url. This is NOT in the root of the web server, but a sub direction if it matters (domain.com/_news/)

There seem to be issues surrounding this all across the forums with mixed updates. Anyone definitively have the solution for this as it seems people either post and figure it out or post and give up?

Thanks in advance!

@henrypwmoulton Doesn’t look to be compatible with BP and it looks more like a forum custom post type. Reminds me of a premium theme http://wordpressqa.com/
Having said that, the best way to find out if that plugin is compatible with BP would be to ask the plugin devs at http://wp-answers.com/contact

Checked out the theme demo and it doesn’t look like JS conflict at all. It looks more like you missed checking option to include the bp.css file which has the styling you need for the BP Admin Bar to move to the top of the page.

I suggest that you take advantage of BuddyBase theme dev’s forums or download a copy of the theme and re-upload manually via FTP or cpanel etc.

EDIT – on second thought after seeing their forums, I suggest re-uploading copy of theme since something got lost in a revision or file transmission. It should look like the demo http://www.buddyboss.com/buddybase/the-museum-of-science-and-industry/

@ghostrose333 BP/WP versions?
– Change theme to bp-default and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. See if same behavior applies.
– Did you go to dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums Setup and install the forum?
– Check your database if tables for forums were created.

@miklamx Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change theme to bp-default.

magi182’s way worked for me.

thanks a lot

@virtuali- Yeah I have a link to where it’s being developed.
It’s called http://localhost/

@gregfielding- I’ve decided not to add colors because every theme is different and the plugin has to be generic enough to suit each theme; FYI, my own theme is going to expand on this and add colors for text, border color, etc.

Just copy over activity/entry.php to your Child Theme and replace all the code in that file with his:

That removes the reply box from comments so you’ll get a one-level reply section

WP/BP versions? Have you deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme to see this is not a plugin/theme conflict?

@alexbdd Following the instruction in this BP codex article https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Go to server and download the template folders/files transferred by BP Template Pack plugin process to your active WP theme folder down to your computer.

Open up activity/index.php

change this at the top, replace:
`

`
with
`
<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>`

Save file and upload to server following the directory structure. You need to do the same thing in the next 12 files.

Sorry the full code is here:

EDIT – Corrected your backticks in above post. Use backtick (`) before and after the code so code will be displayed in post. — Mercime

Hi anyone,

I am using a special theme with index.php coded like this:

`<?php
get_header ();
?>
<div class="column span-“>
<?php
bm_homepageIntro ();
bm_homepageTabs ();
?>

<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>`

How can I make changes to fix the theme layout? It’s strange that there is no div id on my index.

Thank you,

Alex

@number_6 you might need to update template tags in Saffron theme’s header.php which you can double check by comparing with header.php of bp-default theme https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php

@r-a-y

Ooh! Very cool… I was going to start playing around with the idea for my theme too. But I’ll wait for your plugin which will likely be infinitely more robust than my n00b brain could churn out

What theme are you using?

I’m using Saffron and having the same problems

FWIW, I’m working on my own plugin for this, which is coming out when I’ve finished my theme. No time table for release.

Screenie:

Allows you to upload unlike the plugin above and supports groups. What my plugin currently doesn’t have is a default selection of custom backgrounds.

= I found some article and plugin for custimizing WP theme for BP ==

That’s one way, using your WordPress theme and installing the BP Template Pack plugin to transfer BP template files (for BP component pages) plus ajax and js goodness to make your WP theme BP-compatible.

Another way is to create a child theme of the bp-default theme
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
then adjust via CSS only to change layout and colors or do more than that.

Check out the Trac to see the state of development. There are three core developers with commit privileges they do all the work – mostly – and they work on a voluntary basis as this an OS project, members also help to move it forward and the speed at which it does develop is largely governed by the effort we all put in and other than the main three developers not many of us are contributing at the moment!

As for themes ? what do you want, again these are written on a voluntary basis and themes for BP are of a magnitude harder than a bog standard WP layout and are not a trivial matter and take time, but there are themes around if you look.

So no the project isn’t abandoned.

== I can no longer reach the main index template from the editor as a Network Admin ==

If you mean files in child theme of bp-default theme, that has been reported
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3096
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

If on other themes, please provide more information or steps to replicate problem.

Did you put it in a active CSS?

Put it in your active theme’s CSS.

== Besides, having the site look different on its social networking part isn’t that bad of an idea. ==

True. It all depends on the vision for the site
